The greatest prophets of the world foresaw and foretold that at the end of the passing age of division and conflict there would be a divine intervention and judgment that would help to educate all human beings, bring wrongdoers to justice and straighten out human behavior significantly, so that a new paradigm and new world view can start to bring progress, advancement and improvement to the people in all the nations in the world.

One of the greatest prophets was of course Jesus of Nazareth or Mashiac ben Yosef . But Jesus is not revered as a prophet by Christianity, the largest religion in the world, because it was built upon man-made church canon that elevates Jesus to the status of “only begotten son of God” and even as “God Himself.” Therefore, the promised divine intervention and judgment must teach or remind humanity that while Jesus was more than a prophet and even more than a Mashiach (Messiah), and could even be considered the Avatar for the passing age, he was a servant of God, not God solely incarnate. For God is the Great Spirit-Parent of all of us, and is by any other name The Eternal Holy One.

Since the greatest number of people in the world are Christians or were raised Christian and are familiar with its Creed, this work tends to target that audience, but due to this work's treatment of the crucial universal teachings of Jesus, it is relevant to all people and to the adherents of all of the other major religions. After all, the most essential truth is ageless and universal and can be realized by all who can receive it from within, regardless of religion. Moreover, while this work is somewhat about religion as we know it, it is more about universal spiritual truths that religion should be built upon to serve its true purpose, and it calls for a reformation of religion to achieve that goal.

On the other hand, this work also calls for a reformation of government, so it is as much or more about economics and politics -- about what's wrong and how we may correct it. For the main problem is that the status quo and the traditional ways of determining our leadership have failed, and regardless of whether nations claim to have a "Democracy" or not, political power winds up in the hands of the wealthiest few who rule with the power of money.

That is all the more the case since the forces of greed and self-interest have found new ways to manipulate circumstances and fool people to gain power. People have increasingly found it difficult to discern the truth from that which is misleading, deceptive or false, That has increasingly been the case during the last four decades, and the situation is now so bad that it is very perilous for humanity and for the earth itself.

Deceivers are cunning, but they often succeed because they actually believe they are "right," and that they are even "doing God's will." That is why you must know that while there are many ways a Deceiver may choose to gain or maintain power, it often involves appealing to the people’s egotism and their pride and prejudices, and turning them against minority scapegoats who are labeled as "the problem."

Today we have blatant examples of that, which is why bigotry and hypocrisy and violence are rampant and increasing. And the situation is so grave that unless the great majority of the people learn the truth, we are in danger of falling further down the slippery slope into total Plutocracy, Theocracy, and Fascism. In fact, we have already fallen far in that direction and plutocratic and theocratic forces have taken control of many governments, especially the government of America.

However, truth will prevail, and it can and will set us free, empower us, take power away from the forces of greed and self-interest, and enable the humble and "meek" majority to inherit the earth and establish real Democracy with government that will actually be of, by, and for the people.

You see, we need real Democracy. But our governments have failed us because real and true Democracy does not yet exist. We do not yet have government of the people, by the people, or for the people. We have government that is controlled by Plutocrats and Theocrats who pull the strings, and thus our government does not promote the general welfare, nor does it use the common wealth for the common good. It serves the interests of the wealthiest few who think their wealth and religion entitles them to rule.

That is why this message is about how and why we, the people, need to and can establish real and true Democracy with government that is actually of, by, and for the people -- good government that represents and serves us all, free of plutocratic and theocratic imposition by self-righteous and self-important people.

​In fact, it is our right and duty to do so. For just as Thomas Jefferson and John Adams believed, and as Adams stated: "Government is instituted for the common good; for the protection, safety, prosperity and happiness of the people; and not for the profit, honor, or private interest of any one man, family, or class of men. Therefore the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and indefeasible right to institute government and to reform, alter, or totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity and happiness require.”

Nevertheless, this message is also about the true meaning and purpose of religion, and the need for religious freedom and pluralism with a Jeffersonian "wall of separation between church and state."

​Even furthermore, to establish the spiritual authority by which this message was written, it is also about how and why this message could very well be the prophesied message of intercession and judgment promised in the texts of all the major religions of the world. For even though most of the religions of the world expect their own messianic figure, the truth is that the expected one is already here. He is the one chosen by God, the Great Spirit-Parent of us all, and he is sent to serve all nations and reveal the truth that the whole world needs. That is why the messenger who wrote this message was sent, because he serves the eternal, universal Spirit of truth according to real prophecies (as distinguished from symbolic prophecies and myths).

​​According to the prophets Isaiah and Jesus, the servant-messenger of God sends his work before him and is "hidden" as he and his work are rejected by his generation, and he suffers many things and has been stricken and afflicted. He avoids the limelight and seeks not to exalt himself, and he stresses that it is the message, not the messenger, that the world needs. He seeks only to deliver the message that will liberate and empower all humanity, for the truth shall set us free.

​​​PERMISSION IS GRANTED to copy any articles for personal study or to copy, paste and post them on another web site, or publish them, as long as you include the original URL address and credit the modern son of man, the principal messenger for the Spirit of truth who has written using the pen names of Joseph J. Adamson and J.J. Jeffers.

In order for the humble, gentle, kind, peaceful and meek majority of people to inherit the earth and enjoy our birthright, an authentic, truly righteous judgment is needed to correct the political and religious leaders of the world who have brought us to this terrible state of inequity, conflict, division, and tribulation.

Such a judgment was prophesied by prophets of many religions. But, while it is a divine intervention, it is not as many religious people expected because the fulfillment of real prophecies is not about the rule of one world religion or government, and it has nothing to do with a “holy war” or magic or anything supernatural. It is about truth, love, reason and justice overcoming false beliefs, hate, bigotry and injustice.

The judgment is not to issue commandments, but to counsel and guide humanity to the truth, explain religious prophecies and the nature of God as much as possible, show you things to come, and suggest how we may proceed forward toward a brighter future.

The judgment and the fulfillment of prophecy is about the liberation and empowerment of the people, so that we may finally become the family of religions and races that we are, and the family of governments that will be truly of the people, by the people, and for the people, at long last.

However, the promised judgment cannot be imposed upon the world. He who delivered the message does not try to play God or conquering hero or king, nor does he claim divinity or royalty. He is merely a fellow servant and messenger of God, and only human. He merely delivered the message so that it can be seen in a flash, like lightning, by people all over the world. And it is up to the people of the world to recognize and acknowledge it.

So far not enough people have recognized it, and, as it was foreseen and prophesied, the messenger is rejected by his generation. But that’s not surprising. In fact, it was prophesied and predicted, because neither the messenger nor the judgment he delivered are what people expected.

Meanwhile, while the messenger is rejected, he and most people in the world suffer many terrible things, the wealthiest few who hold all the wealth and power live luxuriously and palatially, believing that is the natural order of things. In fact, some of the richest few mistakenly believe that they are blessed by God, and that the poor masses are poor because they deserve to be poor.

Consequently, a very wealthy few rule the world and aristocracy, oligarchy and monarchy (including the presidential form of monarchy) is perpetuated as we are steadily prevented from advancing and even pushed backward regarding our social and financial status, as the wealthiest few become more and more powerful and get richer and richer at the expense of everyone else.

That’s why the judgment cannot be lukewarm. It must be strong, firm and righteous, so that it will expose and denounce greedy, bigoted hypocrites who have fought for and gained a grossly unfair and disproportionate amount of personal power, wealth and domain in the world, even as the majority have become increasingly worse off and in jeopardy.

The judgment will enable the people to put an end to the rule of money. It will render theocracy, oligarchy, aristocracy and all forms of monarchy obsolete, and instead establish actual liberty, democracy, justice, peace and freedom for all humanity.

The judgment helps us understand that only God the eternal, omnipresent Great Spirit-Parent reigns Sovereign, above all human beings. And it explains that the fulfillment of prophecy is to bring about a reformation of our religions and our governments so that they will use the common wealth for the common good, promote the general welfare, and ensure domestic tranquility, pluralism and freedom of religions, equal rights and opportunities, and justice for all the people.

That is what this comprehensive message and judgment is all about, and it is designed not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save.

Now, even though the message cites Judeo-Christian scriptural evidence because Christianity is the largest religion in the world and the most powerful, the message is universal in scope and appropriate for all religions. However, because the messenger has declared his prophetic prerogative and mission, religious people dismiss and label his work as heretical, others dismiss it as either naive or wrong, and the rich dismiss it as sour grapes. And this too was expected, and prophesied.

While the messenger is rejected, spiritually blind leaders lead their blind flocks astray, and we are in this state of tribulation because the greatest refuge of a scoundrel is patriotism, and the greatest refuge of a hypocrite is religiosity. And the proud and militant who have claimed that their religion or nation or race or culture is superior to all others, or that their wealth entitles them to rule, are woefully wrong.

The messenger’s mission to deliver his work before him may now be fulfilled, and when enough people get the message he must give up his self-important, judgmental role because he is painfully aware that as he has judged so he has been judged. And even though his work has earned him the right for the message to be read and heard by the nations, he may have to die of natural causes before the message can be widely accepted and recognized for what it is. God only knows.

Whatever the case, please understand that it is the truth, and nothing but the truth, that shall set us free, and the messenger was sent to provide true counsel and liberate and empower you all.

The Judeo-Christian and Universal Divine Imperative to Care For the Poor

Hypocrites masquerading as religious Christians or Jews claim that government should not promote the general welfare, and they claim that the rich are blessed and that the poor deserve their lot. But just look at what the Bible actually says:

"Is it not [your divine obigation] to share your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into your house; and when you see the naked, to cover them?" -- Isaiah 58:3-24

“Defend the poor and fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: take them out of the hands of the wicked.” – Psalm 82:3-4

“He that oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he that honors the Lord has mercy on the poor.” – Proverbs 14:31

“He that has pity on the poor lends to the Lord; and what he has given will be repaid.” --.Proverbs 19:17

“The righteous consider the cause of the poor, but the wicked care not to know it.” – Proverbs 29:7

“Judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” -- Proverbs 31:9

“If a brother or sister is naked and hungry, and one of you who are warmed and filled says to them, ‘Depart’ and do not give them those things which the body needs; what does it profit you? Therefore, faith without works is dead, being alone. Yes, a man may say, you have faith, and I have works, but show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:14-18)

“And all that believed were together, and had all things common. They sold their possessions and goods, and distributed proceeds to everyone as they had need.” -- Acts 2:44-45

“None among them lacked, for those that owned lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds from the things that were sold, and distributed them to everyone according to their need.” -- Acts 4:34-35

“Then [Jesus] said: 'Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.’” -- Luke 6:20-21

“[Jesus] went to the synagogue and stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.'” -- Luke 4:18:

“Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, ‘You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.’" -- Mark 10:21-22:

“When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or relatives or rich neighbors, so they may invite you in return to be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid [by God].’" -- Luke 14:12-14

"None among them can be found richer than another. It is their law that all who enter the sect must divide their property among the members of the society, with the result that there is never seen among them either abject poverty nor great wealth, for, since every man's possessions are put into the common treasury, they all have, like brothers, one inheritance.” -- Flavius Josephus, a Jewish historian writing of the Essenes ( the Jewish sect to which Mary, Joseph, Jesus and James belonged, which is why the disciples of Jesus did the same thing according to the Christian book of Acts).

"Sheep" vs "Goats"

(Last revision: 12-20-2013)

One of the best things about the book of Matthew in the Christian Bible is that it reports that Jesus of Nazareth said that when the "son of man" comes to deliver judgment to the world at the end of the age, he would distinguish between peoples according to their words, works, deeds and behavior, and set them on one side or the other, as "sheep" and "goats."

According to Matthew, Jesus said that the modern son of man would explain that the "sheep" on one side are blessed, because they fed him when he was hungry, gave him drink when he was thirsty, took him in when he was a stranger, clothed him when he was poor, cared for him when he was sick, and visited him when he was in prison. But, on the other side he will set the "goats," who he rebukes because they have not cared for him like that.

Jesus said that both the "sheep" and the "goats" will ask the son of man, "When did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison?" And the "cursed goats" who he judges will further ask him, "When did we not minister unto you?"

Then Jesus said that the son of man would answer them all, saying: "As you have done to the least our brethren, so you have done to me." (Matthew 25:31-46)

This is consistent with another thing Jesus said the modern son of man would do. Jesus said that when the son of man exposes and rebukes the hypocrites, they would cry out to heaven, saying: "Lord, Lord, have we not cast out devils and done many wonderful works in your name?"

But Jesus said the son of man would say: "I never knew you, depart from me, you that work iniquity."

Now, the message the son of man delivers before him will come as a shock to those on the so-called "Christian Right" who proudly boast of being "Born-Again Christians" while being extreme right-wing partisan "conservative" Republicans sitting on the "right side of the political isle."

What they don't realize, though, is that they are seen on the left by those they face, and Jesus said the son of man would set the goats to the left, as he sees them, which would be on the political right.

Therefore, considering that, and considering their words, actions and behavior, right-wing conservative partisans are actually the "goats" who "work iniquity in the name of the Lord" -- because they generally serve Mammon and represent the powerful wealthy few who seek and fight for personal power, wealth and and domain and tend to be arrogant, self-righteous and self-important, and they are driven by self-interest and greed and apparently don't care how the working poor and the poor and the least of our brethren are treated.

On the other hand, those on the left side of the political isle are, generally speaking, the "sheep," who have traditionally been motivated by the best interests of the vast majority, the poor and the least of our brethren, and are supposed to be advocates of peace. (In the Sixties those on the left were called "doves," as opposed by right wing militants who were called "hawks.")

The Son of Man Who Judges the Goats

Most Christians interpret Matthew to mean that the son of man who renders judgment will be Jesus himself, and it's no wonder. As the Christian Right will quickly point out, in the Christian Bible (as we know it), the authors (or later copiers or translators) wrote that the "Son of man shall sit upon the throne of his glory, and as King shall say unto them ..." And it was written that Jesus said: "I will profess to them ..." which seems to indicate that the modern son of man will be Jesus himself, which is one of the several reasons Christians believe Jesus will come again, this time as a worldly King.

However, Jesus did not actually say he would come again. In fact, he said he had "to go away and be seen no more" on earth. Furthermore, the modern son of man that Jesus said would come at the end of the age rejects the throne just as Jesus did, and in fact glorifies the Christ in heaven as Jesus said he would. (See the article onProphecies Re: He Who Fulfills Them, particularly the explanation of John 8:28, 12:47 and 16:7-15, and the article on Isaiah Chapter 53.)

Jesus said humanity at that time was not yet ready to hear certain truths. But, he said, another son of man, the messenger for the Spirit of truth would come to issue judgment, guide you unto the truth, show you things to come, and glorify him (the Christ who is in heaven with God).

You see, unbeknownst to most Christians, the son of man referred to in the Torah and Tanakh (Old Testament), and in certain instances in Christian scriptures, is not the historical Jesus "come again." Furthermore, as Moses and the Hebrew prophets wrote, God is not a man, nor a son of man. In accurate biblical terms, a son of man is a witness and servant of God. And the modern son of man bears testimony of the Christ and the Spirit of truth.

When Jesus used the words "I will rebuke them..." he meant his testimony and the Spirit of truth will rebuke them. It was one of many instances where Jesus spoke as the Ancient One, for the Ancient One. That’s why Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am." He spoke as the Ancient One who is in heaven with God, but he did not speak as God. In fact, Jesus said: "Of myself I do nothing, but the will of the One who sent me, our God in heaven."

Thus it is the modern son of man who issues judgment. And he knows how the poor and the least of our brethren have been treated, because he has been here since 1941, witnessed God in 1971, traveled extensively across and around America from 1974 to 1979, both on foot as a wandering ascetic, and by vehicle after he was first stricken and afflicted (as Isaiah foresaw), then realized his mission in 1979 and in 1983 began delivering his work before him in letters, articles, then in manuscripts, and finally in 2002 in books and on the Internet.

The Modern Son of Man

As the prophet Isaiah foretold, this servant of God will "notcause his voice to be heard in the street," as Jesus did. That is, this son of man will not speak in public but deliver "his work before him," as Isaiah put it. After delivering it to individuals and groups during the 1980s and '90s, and after publishing his first book and Internet site in January 2002, he published more books and now his work is summarized in this message on this web site (which is delivered electronically, as "lightening", as prophets like Isaiah and Jesus put it), even though he knew the message would first and so far be rejected by his generation, just as both Jesus and Isaiah foretold.

But while the judgment he delivers is firm and strong, it is compassionate and does not condemn anyone who acknowledges their error and repents. And he reveals that it is not true what is written at the end of that passage in Matthew, where it is written that the "cursed goats shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the blessed and the righteous sheep shall go into life eternal." (Matthew 25:46)

That vindictive nonsense was written with the belief that the "second coming" of Jesus and the "end of the world" were imminent, and with the belief that God would not be merciful with hypocrites. Paul, Matthew and certain other canonized authors believed that, even though they did not understand the truth of the matter, and were wrong about that.

Divinely inspired references to "the end" are about the end of the passing age. And, as the Christ Jesus said, judgment is up to the modern son of man. However, he is not Jesus of Nazareth magically "returned."

Jesus of Nazareth was not talking about himself when he spoke a son of man to come. Jesus said he had come not to judge the world, but he said the son of man to come, the messenger for the Spirit of truth, would issue judgment, guide you unto truth, show you things to come, and glorify the Christ in heaven (John 8:28, 12:47, and 16:7-15). The prophet Isaiah said that the witness and servant of God would deliver judgement Isaiah 42:1-4). Jeremiah 33:15-17 says something similar. And they were all talking about the modern son of man.

Fortunately for the hypocrites, the modern son of man reveals that the New Covenant prophesied by Jeremiah means that when hypocrites and sinners who commit offenses against their fellow man realize their error and repent and ask for forgiveness, and sin no more, they will be forgiven by our merciful God and may forgive themselves.

The modern son of man reveals that the idea of sending people to "eternal hell" is part of the antiquated, exclusive, punitive and condemning doctrines of patriarchs who unintentionally misrepresented God. Even though they may have meant well by issuing such judgments, they are in fact the "doctrines of men" that Jesus warned us about, saying: "In vain they worship me, teaching the doctrines of men." (Matthew 15:9 and Mark 7:7).

It matters not how well intended the authors of those doctrines were, and it matters not whether they were created in the first or fourth century. Whenever it was, those doctrines are misleading, erroneous, and ultimately divisive and counterproductive because they are ignorant of the full Nature of God.

Obviously, whoever created the misleading and erroneous doctrines apparently thought it would be a good idea to establish the threat of eternal damnation for disobedience to patriarchal religious authority, while promising eternal reward in heaven for obedience to religious clergy and authority. But, the best servants of God have always been loving, forgiving and merciful, knowing they served our loving, forgiving, merciful God. And that is obvious to anyone who truly knows God’s Divine, Universal Love.

Besides that, as Isaiah wrote, "For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him that is of a contrite and humbled spirit; to revive the spirit of the humble (and meek), and to revive the heart of the contrite ones." (Isaiah 57:15)

That speaks of the modern son of man (see Isaiah Chapter 53), and he is the contrite servant of God and tells you that God will forgive all those who acknowledge the error of their ways, repent, and start treating all other human beings as they would want to be treated. For God is firm but merciful and forgiving, and part of the mission of the son of man is to comfort those who are repentant and contrite.

It is time to realize that the sanctimonious idea of a strict and punitive god was originally created to try to scare the enemies of ancient Israel and encourage the Israelites, and the Christians who were responsible for including that idea in the New Testament gospels perpetuated it for the very same reason. However, it can be just as counterproductive as the rigid rules of strict and punitive parents who often produce unruly and rebellious children. And the Great Spirit-Parent, like all loving parents, does not threaten eternal damnation to establish obedience and control.

Granted, it is good to establish well defined guidelines and rules of behavior, especially for children, and it is good to insist that they be followed and firmly enforce corrective consequences when they are not, because children spoiled by permissive, lazy parents will also become unruly.

However, it is counterproductive to threaten unrealistic or unfair or cruel punishment just to try to prevent bad behavior. Scare tactics rarely work for long, because while you can fool some of the people some of the time, you cannot fool all the people all the time.

Furthermore, those threats of hell and eternal damnation really didn’t prevent bad behavior. That is painfully obvious, considering the state of the world today.

There are billions of Christians and Muslims in the world today, and many Jews, and much of the trouble in the world has been caused by those who claim to be Jews or Christians or Muslims. But threats of hell and damnation have not prevented bad behavior by some of those who today proudly claim to be religious.

Many who proudly claim to be Jews or Christians or Muslims disobey the commandments to not kill and not covet what others have. Instead, they fight and kill for power, wealth and domain, and take it away from others.

It’s time for common sense and reason to enter into the arena of religion. At long last we should all learn from the truly wise ones throughout history, from both the spiritual and scientific realms, who have simply been ignored and are still ignored by proud religious hypocrites.

For example, Albert Einstein said: "I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own - a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. It is enough for me to contemplate the mystery of conscious life perpetuating itself through all eternity, to reflect upon the marvelous structure of the universe which we can dimly perceive and to try humbly to comprehend even an infinitesimal part of the intelligence manifested in Nature."

Of course, we are rewarded and punished in some ways, since we reap what we sow on this earth, and we experience the consequences for our words and actions and behavior, for better or worse. However, we earn the rewards and we bring the consequences on ourselves, and Einstein was quite correct that it is not God who is responsible for that. (See the page on Wisdom and Judgment, which speaks to that issue.)

Einstein also said: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." And "All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man's life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual towards freedom."

God’s witness and true servant and messenger confirms those facts. And even though the messenger must deliver the prophesied judgment to expose and rebuke wrongdoers and hypocrites, the message from God and the Spirit of truth is designed not to condemn, but to educate; not to punish, but to correct; and not to destroy, but to save.

Furthermore, the prophet Isaiah was quite correct when he foresaw that the current son of man will "revive the heart of the contrite ones," because he is "of a contrite and humbled spirit" himself. In other words, rather than be "holier than thou," he is a prodigal son of man who fully acknowledges the error of some of his former ways. And even though he must judge, expose and rebuke divisive and harmful leadership, he is compassionate and understands that God will forgive those who are humbled and contrite of spirit.

"For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him that is of a contrite and humbled spirit; to revive the spirit of the humble (and meek), and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always angry. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I angry, and struck him. I hid me, and was angry, and he went on willfully in the ways of his heart. (But) I have seen his ways, and I will lead him..." (Isaiah 57:15-17)

Jesus said: "Not every one that prays to the Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven." And he clarified that some of the "goats" and some of the hypocrites would be those who have been praying to the Lord.

So we implore you. Please be "sheep," not "goats." Treat all others as you would want to be treated if you were them.

But, keep in mind that the "goats" are not "evil." Many of them have merely been misguided by false prophets and false shepherds and have not realized their error because they’ve been told they are righteous and holy servants of God or Allah. But they have instead served Mammon and some of them have been self-righteous, arrogantly proud, militant, and even murderous.

Whatever and whoever they are, please keep in mind that the "goat" is a symbol for spirit of the Anti-Christ, which Jesus said is "even now in the world" (see the article on The Fall of Babylon, which discussed the Anti-Christ and the Beast of Babylon).

The symbolic "goat" represents people who are egocentric, self-important, self-righteous, greedy, selfish and judgmental, and especially people who are hateful and violent. We can all be tempted by that spirit, and we are all susceptible to it. Thus we are all capable of committing terrible evils, just as we are all capable of doing great good. It is our choice, and it is made in our own mind, which is why a healthy conscience is so helpful.

Conscience is often ignored by distorted logic when the "moral" patriarch claims that receiving public assistance means that one lacks discipline and self-reliance and is therefore not "moral." That logic gets even more distorted when it assumes that if a person is not prosperous, he is not disciplined enough and not faithful enough to be prosperous and therefore deserves to live in poverty.

Such uncaring logic consequently assumes that social programs and public assistance give people things they haven't earned, thereby lessening people's incentive to be disciplined and "moral." But such logic is not only flawed and uncaring. It ignores the Golden Rule and the advice of Jesus to care for the poor and the least of our brethren. Furthermore, it is simply erroneous and ignorant of the facts regarding poverty and its causes. (See the page on Poverty: America’s Hidden Shame.)

So, again, please abide by the Golden Rule and the Universal Divine Imperative. Be on the correct side with those who are loving, fair, just, generous, caring, charitable, forgiving, tolerant, and peaceful.

Also please forsake or ignore those who are not and refuse to face the truth. Have compassion for them, though, because if they refuse to face the truth they will set themselves up for terrible conflict in their own mind. Their ego and their conscience will increasingly be at war, and while they will rant and rage in a desperate attempt to save face, they will ultimately have to face the truth. So we should only feel sorry for them.

The seed of this message was implanted in the heart and mind of the author in in 1971 when he was 30 years old. After much trial and error, after much self-doubt, and after much meditation and study, he and developed and started delivering it in 1984. It was finally self-published under the pen name of Joseph Adamson in early 2002 in books and summarized at Internet sites that not longer exist (realprophecyunveiled.netfirms.com and then reformationcomingsoon.bravehost.com). Then in 2010, fearing all his work had been in vain, the author closed his site, but the articles were preserved here by this Initiative. Even though the author' initially wrote under a pen name, he is know by many names and titles by different religions as is explained in Prophecies Re: He Who Fulfills Them, and he also goes by the name of "J.J. Jeffers," the name he chose as a singer-songwriter. However, he knows he and his name don't matter. He is but a servant-messenger of God and like a blade of grass that withers and dies, while the message, as imperfect as it is, is an important and lasting testament and interceding judgment.
